How My Morning Walks Energize Me to Get Through My Day

If you follow me on Snapchat or Instagram, then I’m sure you’ve seen the footage from my daily morning walks! Since I’ve moved back to the city, we now live a few blocks from the Atlanta BeltLine.

This means that I have no excuses when it comes to keeping fit and being active. For the past few years we’ve lived the suburban life and my neighborhood wasn’t walk-able. If I wanted to get active outside I would have to drive to a trail. Now I can just walk outside my front door!

My morning walks aren’t only about me getting fit, but a time of solitude and reflection. It’s my bit of “me time” and I don’t spend those moments thinking about the kids, homeschool, or what needs to be done around the house. It’s so peaceful to just take in the sights and to listen to the sounds of nature.

I head out for my walk just shortly after I get up in the morning. I don’t want to wake the kids up by making breakfast, so I grab a Nature Valley XL Bar or two to go with me. They satisfy my hunger on my walk and fuel my day!

Nature Valley XL Bars are 50% bigger than the regular Nature Valley Bars. I love chocolate and peanut butter, so all of the flavors are a win for me, though my absolute favorite are the Nature Valley XL Sweet & Salty Chocolate Nut & Seed Chewy Granola Bars. I grab the bars on my weekly shopping trip to my neighborhood Walmart in the snack bar aisle right next to the regular size Nature Valley Bars.

You can find the Nature Valley XL Bars in Walmart in these various delicious flavors:

Nature Valley XL Sweet & Salty Chocolate Nut & Seed Chewy Granola Bars

Nature Valley XL Sweet & Salty Peanut Chewy Granola Bars

Nature Valley XL Sweet & Salty Pretzel, Peanut & Chocolate Chewy Granola Bars

Nature Valley XL Protein Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Bars 

Nature Valley XL Protein Mixed Nuts Bars 

My morning walks give me a boost of energy to get through my day and Nature Valley XL Bars help me to satisfy my hunger while I’m on the go. Make sure to grab Nature Valley XL Bars to fuel your day on your next trip to Walmart!
